The Spies Who Hijacked America

Global scandals now labeled Russiagate, Spygate, and what President Trump calls “Obamagate” shook the political world, but hit me closer to home. I’m the reason the so-called FBI “spy” at the center of Spygate, Stefan Halper, met Carter Page, the alleged “Russian Asset” in Russiagate’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

On May 19, 2018, this realization blindsided me in London as I was about to fly out for my wedding. The New York Times, NBC News and other sources had outed my PhD supervisor, Stefan Halper, as a spy known to the UK’s MI6 intelligence service as “The Walrus.”

It didn’t seem real. Could a former professor I once trusted as a mentor have betrayed his word, profession, and country to start these disasters? I had moved to England to pursue an academic career and leave DC’s politics behind, only to have my PhD supervisor throw me back into the most outrageous political firestorms I could imagine. Just my luck. Then an even worse question began nagging at me. Did I unintentionally light the match that started it all?

As I started to piece together what happened over the next few months, I realized something. The stories that The New York Times, Washington Post,and others were pushing didn’t add up. Many seemed planted to cover up or advance the agendas of several individuals whose tentacles secretly ran through these scandals, and who each had longstanding ties to intelligence services like the FBI, CIA, and MI6. I call these individuals the Cambridge Four.

It's a long read, but well worth the time. The World Order dyke is leaking...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But, so far, no one is addressing the root of it all.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.

BOTH parties conspired to abrogate the Constitution.

Nice story, but we already know that the spying began well before Taibbi's tale begins. And it wasn't just spying on Trump that occurred, either.

[reg45]

I don’t know about the Cambridge Four, but the Cambridge Five was a group of Soviet spies in the United Kingdom in the ‘30s through the ‘50s. One of them was Kim Philby.

So, why aren’t we connecting this spying to China. They pretty much control Harvard. They fund lots of liberal think tanks. We keep saying Soros, but we should be looking at China. Soros is just one old billionaire. China has thousands of people plus hundreds of billions of dollars. Soros could not do it all. China supports Antifa, BLM, they one numerous sofaware companies in the US. Stop with the Soros talk already.

Pretty good read, I can’t wait for the Hangings, I plan on Buying 4 front row seats!

[I-ambush]

World order dyke? What’s her name?

[gr8eman]

Yes, but Matt needs a proofreader. I volunteer!

[laconic]

Truly amazing article. To think that the damned British intelligence interfered in our election is beyond belief; the damage these pigs did to this country, our electoral system, the Trump presidency and his family, and the family and careers of people like Gen. Flynn, Papadopolous, Carter Page, Roger Stone and many other based on a pretext of lies, deceit, bribes and the stench of betrayal is beyond belief. After the US rescued these dolts out of World War One and World War Two, this is the thanks we get. From lowlife trash.

[time4good]

Matt didn’t write this article. THE guy at the center, Steven P. Schrage wrote it.

[SauronOfMordor]

I think Soros is just a middle-man, the visible face of a bigger conspiracy.

[veracious]

It doesn’t matter that FBI lied to Senate.

Dark state evil does whatever it wants, at any time it chooses. There is no enforcement of law against the traitors to USConstitution, because DC isn’t about our laws. It is about its evil purposes, to enslave USAians.

Not even one dark spy has been brought to justice. Not one. Never will be either. DC is the not part of USA. Period.

If you happen to be following Sundance over on CTH the sudden appearance of this Schlage fellow could very well be the beginning of something. There are a bunch of curiously strange things happening. Sundance is writing about briefings, a hidden mole in the WH, a parallel investigation headed by “somebody” unidentified. He writes about Phase 2, public disclosure and needing a bridge. Then Matt Taibi and Steven Schlage appear as if right on cue.

Could it be all ready to drop or is that simply my wishful thinking? I don’t know but I’m mildly encouraged by what I’m reading all over the place

[Biggirl]

Well TikTok got banned by President Trump.

[Chewbarkah]

Worthwhile, even though the article drags and teases like an internet “One Amazing Trick...” scam. Main question: why didn’t Schrage come out with this years ago? The basic outline has been known publicly for at least two years.

[enumerated]

My grandfather called that “Beating a dead horse.”

That’s like saying there is a leftist bias in the media.

No shit. Welcome to reality.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Lots of people, even here on FR, are still denying reality.

I call these individuals the Cambridge Four. Strangely, all four were linked through that sleepy British academic town thousands of miles from the alleged “ground zeroes” of Russiagate’s conspiracies, Moscow and DC. In addition to the central “Spygate” figure Halper, they include the central source of “Russiagate’s” fake conspiracy theories, Christopher Steele; former MI6 Director Sir Richard Dearlove; and Halper’s and Dearlove’s partner in a Cambridge Intelligence Seminar linked to titillating — but false — tales of a “Russian spy” seducing Trump’s top national security advisor. . .The Cambridge’s Four’s final member, Christopher Andrew, seemed the least likely to become involved. He initially called some of Halper’s Russia conspiracy theories “absurd.” Yet by early 2017 he published an articlethat helped legitimize false allegations against Trump’s team and even implicated his own student. . .Halper’s long-time FBI handler Steve Somma, who personally saved Halper’s FBI career after Halper’s firing in 2011, was quickly reassigned to Crossfire Hurricane despite Somma telling the DOJ’s Inspector General that he “lacked a basic understanding of simple [campaign] issues.” . . .It is also worth noting that Flynn’s lawyer, Sydney Powell, has accused Pentagon official James Baker of making the leak — a charge a Pentagon official denied — and of coordinating with Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, on what she called a “kill shot” on Flynn. Baker leads the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment (ONA), which reported paying Halper $411,575 while he surveilled Trump’s team. ONA claims this enormous sum —more than the annual salary of the President of the United States — was paid to Halper for fairly normal, largely publicly-sourced, reports to this office. I always found it strange that Halper profusely thanked me for introducing him to Carter Page, even after Page was accused of being a “Russian spy.” The disclosure that some of these payments started around the time Halper met Page, provided me with a theory on why he was so grateful. . .
